l'introduzione del<br />

modello Vacumatic di<br />

Parker, Simoni introduce<br />

i modelli<br />

Lucens ed Extra<br />

Lucens.<br />

Tecnicamente la<br />

Lucens e la Extra<br />

Lucens sono identiche:<br />

il caricamento<br />

avviene per mezzo di<br />

uno stantuffo tuffante,<br />

brevettato da<br />

Simoni nel 1936. Dal<br />

punto di vista estetico,<br />

la Lucens é cilindrica,<br />

mentre la Extra<br />

Lucens é faccettata.<br />

Per i serbatoi dei<br />

primi modelli trasparenti<br />

Simoni utilizza<br />

celluloidi molto chiare, che si rivelano<br />

però troppo fragili e vengono sostituite<br />

ben presto con colorazioni più scure.<br />

La gamma Omas arriva perciò a comprendere<br />

quattro modelli di altissima qualità:<br />

la Extra a leva e la Lucens trasparente<br />

cilindriche, la Extra faccettata e la Extra<br />

Lucens nella versione dodecagonale. Tutti<br />

i modelli montano la caratteristica clip a<br />

rotella e la vera grecata tra i due anellini.<br />

of distinction) and<br />

“Omas Extra – la<br />

stilografica del tempo<br />

moderno” (The modern<br />

day fountain<br />

pen), the pen was<br />

made in large, medium,<br />

and lady sizes.<br />

The lady model was<br />

available with a clip<br />

or cap ring. Each<br />

pen was paired with<br />

a matching mechanical<br />

pencil.<br />

The lever-filled Extra<br />

stayed in production<br />

until 1946 with very<br />

few changes. Among<br />

these variations, one<br />

worth mentioning is<br />

the adoption of three<br />

thin cap bands in the place of the fretted<br />

band – in 1936 on the cylindrical model<br />

and in 1940 on the faceted pen. Also during<br />

the war, versions were made with<br />

chrome-plated trim and Permanio alloy<br />

nibs.<br />

In 1946 Omas fully overhauled the Extra<br />

both technically and aesthetically. The<br />

pen was given a screw piston fill mechanism<br />

and a transparent window on the<br />

barrel. The three thin cap bands and the<br />
